If it's in the STAR it MUST be true! Has it been on footballrumours.com yet?
Nope i re-read my post and i didnt say it was true. Clown.
Well said.

Haha, it was on yesterday. Think we can write this one off as BS.
Cheers for the heads up mate. And ignore some peoples twatish comments, they must have poor lives and come on here to argue, fight and belittle others to make themselves feel better, I for one feel sorry for them....

Lol I didn't think that one through did I ! I meant its a rumour that he's got from a source (the paper) and not summat he's made up. Nobody should ever be worried to post anything they've got from a geniune source due to people making sarky comments, if summat been reported in the paper I want to hear about it true or not

What I don't get though is we don't play wingers??

Fook me! There's some touchy fookers on here! I wasn't knocking the "rumour". I was making a tongue-in-cheek comment about the rag called the Daily Star! Get a life!
Clearly others intrepreted it differently. I read it as an attack against my post, and still do. Sorry if we dont all get your 'humour'.
4-2-3-1 seems to be the 'plan B'.
I'm glad we seem to be working on options for games where the diamond doesn't work.

Fair enough TC. I do tend to drop the odd daft comment in now and again. And yes, I do have a dry sense of humour. Not appreciated by everyone though!
Apologies if I was misunderstood.

The problem there though is we need to start with him on the bench. To then swap to this formation we'd need to bring off a striker to bring a winger on. If we're losing then taking a striker off not a good move.
We could flatten out to a regular 442 I guess, with Fleck on the other flank, but this moves him out of his best position .
Don't get me wrong, I welcome pace but just struggling to see how we can optimise his abilities tactically with our players.

How about 4-3-3.
Take say Kilbane off, move Fleck back into midfield 3. Ball up top flanked by this guy and Cody.

Genuine rumour is a bit of an oxymoron but your point is bang on. Peple just like to be pessimists I think, that way if Cov dont sign anyone they were right all along and if they do they are happy about it anyway.
Hope this is true, Reading fans seem to really rate him. Can play across the midfield or further forward too. Seems like the sort of player Thorn would like!

I agree with what you are saying, but why would anyone post on a forum and not expect any replies?
Nowt wrong with a bit of humour. Even if some people don't get it. It is bitchyness we could do without, and we seem to have more bitching than humour at times

Agreed but there's a fine line between the two matey, it seems every thread that gets started about a potential signing the first 5 posts are calling the person out and calling there post lies, it then gets reported in the CET two hours later and these people suddenly shut up / delete there posts. If HH's post was humour that's fine but the final straw for me was the bloke who broke the story about the player bonuses, people were harsh to that bloke, even started there own threads taking the piss, as I say if there's a "genuine rumour" (new favourite phrase!) about Coventry in the daily rags I want to hear about it

Yes it has lol
But im of the same opinion. I check that rumour site out everyday and while the majority of it is pure bull, some of it actually comes true.
They predicted Malaga, Barton, the possible signing on Jennings etc.
There have been some gems so can't discount it completely.

And of course, if i comes from a genuin local/regional paper then its best we hear about it...you never know

I wasn't being serious in knocking the rumour, just commenting as it came up on the football transfer rumour website yesterday, that site is just awful. I know some people go mad when rumours are posted on here but I thrive on em!

Yeah, I think he was one of the 14 players who they got in on month-long contracts just prior to the start of the season.
